Nitromors, followed by course wet and dry, followed by fine wet and dry, followed by finer wet and dry etc etc.

Finish with a drill or hand held grinder but with buffing attachment, autosol, silvo that kinda thing.
I've shaken Rossi's hand. Francis Rossi that is!!

i find it's better to pay someone to finish the job......

they usually have access to much more powerful polishing equip, giving a better finish. (& it's not really that expensive...)
